Profile:
One of the many youngsters who got their big break because
of selection committee chairman Lala Amarnath's far sighted
policy of encouraging youth in the fifties, Patankar was a
surprise choice as a replacement for regular wicketkeeper Naren
Tamhane for the Test against New Zealand at Calcutta. He did not
do badly. First he helped JM Ghorpade to add 37 runs for the
eighth wicket after seven wickets had tumbled for 88 on the
opening morning. Patankar followed his 13 by taking catches
that dismissed both opening batsmen Leggat and Bert Sutcliffe.
Later he stumped MacGibbon and caught Alabaster. But with
Tamhane and `Nana' Joshi around, he never got another chance to
play for the country. A useful tail end batsman, Patankar's first
class stretched for more than two decades. He had a tally of 503
runs (15.71) including one century and 58 dismissals, 38 of
them caught. (Partab Ramchand)
